Overview
- The confrontation unfolded during dismissal at Pleasantview Elementary in Eastpointe on Oct. 22, where the father allegedly vowed to return and “air the place out.”
- Police arrested 43-year-old David Scott Jr. within about two hours, used resources including drones, and later reported finding multiple rounds of ammunition during a home search.
- Scott was arraigned on possession of ammunition by a prohibited person, intentional threat against a school, and disorderly conduct, and he received a fourth-offense habitual offender notice.
- Bond was set at $150,000 cash/surety with no 10%, and if released he must wear a GPS tether, remain in Michigan, avoid non‑prescription drugs and alcohol, and have no contact with the school or staff.
- Prosecutors and district leaders condemned the threats, police increased visibility around the campus, and court hearings are set for Nov. 5 and Nov. 12.
